Fall 2019 Pre Health Case Competition Vaccinations & Measles Outbreak Case Competition Childhood vaccination has proven to be one of the most effective public health strategies to control and prevent disease. In an effort to reduce childhood morbidity and mortality, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) issues annual recommendations and guidelines for childhood and adolescent immunizations. A new study shows that numerous states and large metropolitan centers have seen an increase in the number of nonmedical exemptions (NMEs) from childhood vaccinations granted (https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1002578). In the past decade, the number of philosophical exemptions to vaccination has increased in two-thirds of the states that allow such exemptions. As a result, researchers suggest that these areas are becoming increasingly vulnerable to vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks. Although school immunization laws in every state grant vaccination exemptions to children for medical reasons, states may also grant NMEs for other reasons. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 47 states have provisions that allow parents to exempt their children from receiving a vaccine if it contradicts their religious beliefs, and 18 states permit philosophical exemptions based on moral, personal or other beliefs. There are a variety of reasons that parents refuse, delay, or are hesitant to vaccinate their child. These reasons vary widely between parents, but they can be encompassed in 4 overarching categories. The 4 categories are religious reasons, personal beliefs or philosophical reasons, safety concerns, and a desire for more information from healthcare providers. Unvaccinated groups of people can generate local outbreaks of diseases that can later spread across the country, affecting anyone who was unable to get vaccinated for any reason. For example in 2000, measles was declared to be eliminated in the United States, when no sustained transmission of the virus was seen in this country for more than 12 months. However, since 2010, measles outbreaks (defined as 3 or more cases in a geographic area) have increased. In 2019 there were more than 1000 reported cases of measles across more than 20 states. Most of these cases occurred in unvaccinated people. Contracting measles can be largely avoided through vaccination with the MMR vaccine. Though considered safe and effective, the MMR vaccine can have side effects. Most people who get the MMR vaccine do not have any serious problems with it. Common side effects of the MMR vaccine include sore arm from the shot, fever, mild rash, temporary pain and stiffness in the joints. The MMR vaccine has been linked with a very small risk of febrile seizures (seizures or jerking caused by fever). Febrile seizures following MMR are rare and are not associated with any long-term effects. Because the risk of febrile seizures increases as infants get older, it is recommended to follow the immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

CDC Implementation TASK The Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is spearheading a new task force to combat measles outbreaks. You have been selected by the CDC as a member of a three person task force in Florida, which will focus on how to increase the immunization rate in Florida, specifically addressing the number of nonmedical exemptions (NMEs) from the MMR vaccine. The CDC has asked that you address the issue from a Public Health, Psychological and Scientific perspective. Your task force will develop and submit a program proposal, which will be reviewed by the Florida Department of Health for approval of funding. The maximum request for funding would be $10,000. This proposal will aim to create a new program that will assist in combating the issue within Florida. Implementation Plan Proposal Breakdown 1. Background and significance – maximum 500 words a.

It all began in the summer of 1971 when founder, Kevin Koenig, set out to accomplish one mission: open his first waterbed store. With just $1,500 in his pocket, and an MBA from Florida Atlantic University, Kevin opened the first Waterbed City.

After 23 years of consistent growth, the waterbed industry had reached its plateau. Waterbed City evolved into City Furniture in 1994—offering not just bedroom furniture, but a full line of home furnishings to include living and dining room furniture, wall units, home theatre, and ready-to-assemble furniture.

It’s been over 20 years since the transition to City Furniture and with an incredible team of Associates, we have created a sought-after brand and top-rated shopping experience for our customers. Innovation, continuous reinvestments into our business, and a family spirited culture have created a destination where hundreds of thousands of Floridians have gotten their furniture. Today, we have 29 City Furniture and Ashley HomeStore locations throughout Florida and continue to be recognized as one of the top furniture companies in South Florida, and in the top 30 nationwide.

City Furniture’s Commercial Sales Department focuses primarily on large business accounts, developers and production builders. We have merchandised thousands of model homes in the past few years. We have also done hundreds of vacation rental homes and we help builders furnish their homes in less desirable lots in the communities. The furnishings in these less desirable lots incentivizes customers to purchase the homes. We recently completed work in the Marlins DEX club, helped refurnish the Dolphin stadium and redid all of the rooms at the Riverside hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. Our model home program drives millions of dollars into our showrooms annually. The customers visit the models in the community and then come to purchase furniture in our showrooms. We give away coupons/certificates in the models that have special offers enticing the customers to come and shop at our showrooms.

We would like your assistance in developing and understanding the apartment rental market better; focusing primarily on the millennial market. We would like to find out the average of how long the millennial market typically rents for, what is the average rent total, and what pieces of furniture are they interested in for their rentals (living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, etc.). We would like you to pull & analyze data to determine if renters are more interested in buying or renting furnishings for their rental units:  How much do they expect to pay broken down as a percentage of the rent they pay, how do they want to pay (cash, financing, what type of terms are favorable)  How long will they keep the furniture if renting or buying – does that amount of time change if renting or buying  What type of style do they find most favorable?

Please prepare a presentation and show statistical data on how you arrived at your conclusion. How do we market and attract millennials into this new program? What have other companies done to attract millennials? Please show how you are obtaining this info and where you’re gaining these facts.

Prizes: 1st place-- $1,000 2nd place-- $200
